RPD Checklist - 100
16. Baseplate and Occlusal Rims
% Framework stable on cast, properly related and passive when seated.
% Wax rim at a level compatible with existing vertical dimension
% Undercuts blocked out so baseplate does not scrape master cast upon removal
% Wax rim centered over ridge (mandibular); slightly facial to ridge (maxillary)
% Labial inclination on anterior portion of wax rim
% Width approximately 7 mm anteriorly and 10 mm posteriorly
% Flat occlusal surface
% Wax smooth, neat and sealed to base
% Baseplate well adapted to cast tissues
% Infection Control/Judgment/Other _________________________________
17. Vertical Dimension
% Patient sitting or standing upright for procedure
% Lips/cheeks not strained
% Proper lip support
% Patient demonstrates a 2-4 mm closure from lips touching to rims/teeth touching (patient constraints)
% Framework does not alter existing vertical dimension
% Patient’s posterior teeth don’t touch during sibilant sounds
% Infection Control/Judgment/Other _________________________________
18. Facebow Record (Checked prior to removal from patient and prior to mounting)
% Casts notched and grooves lubricated
% Bitefork correctly attached to occlusal rim with indices for remaining teeth and tightened
% Facebow condylar arms properly oriented
% Maxillary cast mounted in same relationship to articulator as maxilla to arbitrary hinge axis Proper
anterior reference point used
% Incisal pin correctly oriented
% Cast well united to mounting ring with a smooth neat finish
% Infection Control/Judgment/Other _________________________________
19. Centric Record
% Repeatable recording
% Occlusal rim properly reduced for recording media
% Mandibular cast notched and grooves lubricated
% Proper quantity and utilization of medium
% Indices interdigitate accurately
% Horizontal component is correct
% Vertical component is correct
% Cast well united to mounting ring with smooth neat finish
% Infection Control/Judgment/Other _________________________________
20. Protrusive Record
% Mandibular cast and articulator guides indicate the proper amount of protrusion (usually 4-6mm)
% Proper quantity and utilization of medium
% Indices interdigitate accurately
% Condylar inclination properly adjusted and locked
% Lateral condylar guidance (Bennett Angle) set at 15°
% Protrusion relatively centered
% Registration at a jaw opening greater than the vertical dimension of occlusion
